RICHMOND, November S.-The State
election to-day was for members of the
General Assembly. Up to II p. m.
about forty cities and counties of the
State have been heard from. These
show that the Democrats have elected
delegates in thirty counties. They
have lost the following counties which
at the last election went Democratic:
Wythe, King William, Patrick, Louisa
and Henry; they have made gains in

went Republican: Appomattox, Rus

Senate and nearly two-thirds Of the
House Of Delegates, thus ensuring the
election of a Democratic successor to
